PONANT is holding a series of Discovery Sessions to inspire travel advisors and their clients in February and March at venues across Australia.

The events will kick off in Canberra on Monday 24 February, and will visit Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Noosa, and Newcastle, concluding on Wednesday 26 March.

The first edition of the Discovery Sessions will see PONANT team up with Paul Gauguin Cruises, the French Polynesia specialist that joined PONANT in 2019, to talk small-ship cruising in the South Pacific – particularly timely with m/s Paul Gauguin soon to undergo a multi-million-dollar refit in Singapore.

In addition, the event will showcase PONANT’s other program highlights from Antarctic explorations and Arctic Northern Lights expeditions through to immersive journeys through Japan’s ancient sea routes and iconic European sailings.

“It is with excitement that the experienced PONANT team is getting ready to share their 2026 and 2027 programs,” said the company.

Guests will also have the opportunity to access exclusive offers and special surprises. Destination experts will also be on hand to talk about the itineraries and share their first-hand experiences.

The 2025 Discovery Sessions will be held in: Canberra: Monday 24 February, Hotel Realm, 5.30pm; Melbourne, Wednesday 26 February, Leonda By The Yarra, 11.00am & 6.00pm; Sydney, Monday 3 March, Four Seasons Hotel, 11.00am & 6.00pm; Brisbane, Monday 10 March, Water’s Edge, 11.00am & 6.00pm; Noosa, Tuesday 11 March, Peppers Resort & Villas, 5.30pm; and Newcastle, Wednesday 26 March, Merewether Surfhouse, 5.30pm.
